In June a fellow hiker spotted a body floating in the Chicago River near the Division Street bridge [at Ogden St.] in 'Dead Man's Corner.'
Police at the scene explained the river currents were such that floating objects weighing two-hundred pounds or so always find their way into this corner of the bridge's base.
Every summer, what a cynical officer referred to as the 'drowning season,' one or two bodies wash into Dead Man's Corner.
A special plea: when crossing the river always check for floaters.
